  • Episode 91: Best Cruise Lines for Adult-Only Vacations
    Feb 18 2026

    In this episode, Krystle and Julie dive into what an adults only cruise actually looks like. Not the wild spring break version. The relaxed, sleep in a little later, order the second cocktail, linger at dinner kind of trip.

    Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, planning a girls trip, or just craving quiet mornings and uninterrupted conversations, this episode will help you think through what kind of cruise experience fits you best right now.

  • Episode 90: Top couples trips for reconnecting without overplanning
    Feb 11 2026

    In this episode, we’re sharing our top spots for couple travel that are romantic, easy to plan, and genuinely enjoyable to experience together. From all-inclusive favorites like Cabo, St. Lucia, and Mexico, to adventure-meets-romance destinations like Hawaii, to sleeper hits in Europe and right here in the United States, we break down what makes each destination work for different types of couples.

    We also talk about why resort choice matters more than the destination itself, how to avoid generic “Instagram” trips, and how to choose a getaway that actually helps you reconnect instead of adding stress.

    And if you’re listening and thinking, “This all sounds great, but I still don’t know what fits us,” we’ve created a couples travel quiz to help you narrow down your travel style and turn inspiration into a real, bookable trip. Visit this link to get started: https://forms.gle/LuqPjo14P86mhngaA

    Disney World isn’t just for families with kids. In this episode of Wanderlust & Wishes, Krystle and Julie break down exactly how to plan an adults-only trip to Walt Disney World that feels relaxed, elevated, and intentional.

    From choosing the best Disney resorts for adult travelers to building smarter park days that prioritize food, lounges, atmosphere, and nighttime experiences, this episode walks you through what actually works for adults visiting Disney World in 2026.

    We cover EPCOT’s new adults-only GEO-82 Lounge and fireworks experience, the most adult-friendly resorts like Disney’s Yacht Club and Coronado Springs, lounge-first dining strategies, current BoardWalk nightlife options, and why EPCOT is the perfect anchor park for your adult-only Disney trip.
